Monday 14/01/02 : Village Hall : The discussion continues...

Following the recent letters in the parish magazine, a meeting of the Bransgore Residents Association on Monday heard the full story of the dilemma facing the Parish Council on this matter. Following extensive discussion and points from the floor it was difficult to draw many firm conclusions other than something radical really has to be done in the next year or two. If we wish to continue to have a large facility such as this in the village we will need to find some 'professional' help to mastermind the development and to be prepared to supply financial expertise to a new project
